In the past I'd noticed a behaviour that if I opened a blank tab and
typed in something like facebook, let auto-complete do its thing and
picked something from the drop-down list that appeared below the
address bar from its history, I'd often see the browser whiz over to an
existing tab which already had that site loaded.  It was that or a very
similar kind of situation.

It's been a while since I saw it do that.  And I have no plug-ins or
add-ons other than what came with the browser.

But I'd never seen it do that on clicked links.

There's some logic to switching to the tab that already has it loaded.
But then, there's also confusion when it whizzes over to the 88th tab
out of 150 tabs, and you wanted to cross-reference something between
two tabs side-by-side.

Yeah, I know having a gazillion open tabs is chaotic.  But it's so easy
to get sidetracked.  And two weeks later, the page often doesn't exist
any more.  So bookmarking a lot of things, or searching your history,
doesn't always do you any good.
